AUTOMOBILE OWNERS MUST GET LICENSES

Deputy Prosecutor Issued Instructions to Begin Prosecutions of AU Violators.

Unless you have procured a 1914 license you have no right to run your automobile. The licenses issued last year expired on Dee. 31st and the new licenses should be procured without delay. Deputy Prosecutor Delos Dean has had his attention called to the fact that there are many owners here who have not applied for new licenses and one day last week he counted some twenty-four machines that were carrying the 1913 license numbers. : The law imposes a heavy penalty for thia neglect and it is hoped this Warning proves sufficient and that all owners make application at once tor the licenses, tor failure to do so will certainly result in prosecutions. The last legislature made it illegal tor minors to smoke cigarettes or even to have them in their possession. There are many violations of the law here. Dealers are said to sell without question to minors, either cigarettes or tobacco ' and papers. The law makes it a violation to even have the papers in your possession. Several school boys, it is too bad to say, smoke cigarettes on their way to school and slip out during school hours tor a puff at the coffin nails. Proseouter Dean intends to give some attention to this practice and try to break it up.
